i am reindeer.
I got into this shit when i was 14 and have since had a toxic relationship with the entire genre. I can both defend and attack this absurd medium for hours at any time and will love it until i die, but i'd be lying if i don't admit to my obsession being a vice. It takes up too much time for one, is it healthy to watch teenagers camp in the woods for 5 hours? why do i cry when Eijun succeeds?

I hope anyone who reads this lives their best life! :)

This is a more pretentious "me having fun with pretentious reasoning" version:

I can only describe my feelings about this site as ambivalent. Incredibly useful to avoid watching 3 episodes of an ‘Isekai’ series just to remember how you’ve seen it twice before, yet i can only see 15k episodes watched so many times before i lose all hope for the future and trust in myself. I truly enjoy this art form. It is genius. Excessive in nature to such a degree that no individual could appreciate all of it and still call themselves a human being. I have often tried to detox. Get clean. Keep my balance for at least a few weeks. I have tried many things. Yet i find myself drifting back to shore. At times i even think i'm in the clear; bravely facing tomorrow and all her mysteries. then my eyes open and i see the world as it is. Alas, i have been seduced once more. I have been ashamed of my love before accepting it and would now die defending the depth, value and artistic integrity of Anime. I’d struggle mostly with the integrity part, but i’d break my body before i lost that argument. Anime is a form of expression that sheds light on the most peculiar of truths, often without intending to do so. From the demands placed on aspiring Mangaka in terms of demographic appeals, navigating innovative ideas in a world filled with cultural norms is not easy. I don’t know how or why, but for some reason the land of the rising sun manages to catch me by surprise to this day, more than ten years after i began this life-long adventure.
